KISKADEE Kids Daycare and Pre-school on Friday hosted its annual Father and Son Fishing Expedition ahead of the Father’s Day celebration today.

Twenty fathers and their sons along with the school’s Director, Ivor Thompson and two teachers, assembled at the school’s Queen Street, Kitty location for what many considered to be a promising day.

Around 08:30hrs on Friday, the little pre-schoolers and their daddies departed for Blankenburg on the West Coast of Demerara for a day of fishing.
“Some of the fathers who are into fishing came with their professional rods and some artificial bates. Some fathers came with their earth worms, and some used the normal dough,” Thompson told Guyana Chronicle.

It took a while before the first fish was caught, but once the first catch was made, Thompson said it was a busy day for the little boys and their fathers.
According to Director of Kiskadee Kids Daycare and Pre-school, many of the fathers said they were thankful for the venture, explaining that for the year, not many of them had the opportunity to spend quality time alone with their sons.

For Thompson, the Father and Son Fishing Expedition, which is held every year around Father’s Day, allows fathers to create stronger bond with their sons.

The Father and Son Fishing Expedition is one of many activities that the daycare and pre-school hosts for its children and parents.
